My brother and parents keep calling me and emailing me about coming home for Christmas. I don’t know if I can stand to be around my former Republican now brainwashed commie brother and his commie fiance and my limo liberal uncle talk about how far we’ve come to elect Obama who will fix all of our wrongs. My brother’s biggest concern is income inequality and wants higher taxes on the rich because he’s throwing a tantrum that he doesn’t have the job with the pay he thinks he should so he thinks he should get Obama to steal from his sis. This whole election he has been sending me his socialist junk and trying to goad me. Fortunately, my parents (one Maoist and one Republican) all agree with me on my brother and support McCain.

I have lost all respect for my mother and brother-in-law who call my husband everyday to talk about the glories of Obama and not to talk about him or family stuff. They all voted Republican (Missouri) in 2004 but since they haven’t a clue how to manage their money, they lost it all when the tech bubble burst (no divestification whatsoever) and then lost customers because all of their customers are.. wait for it... tech companies... and of course bought a huge house on the expectations that the gravy train would keep coming. Brother makes 20k a year and dropped out of school because he knocked some girl up.

These people threw a hissy fit and vowed to never vote for Republicans again because somehow Bush and the Rs were responsible for their poor decisions. Of course, they want government to take from people who aren’t fools like them with their money to give to them. I have zero respect for them now and don’t want to see them at Christmas rubbing it in my face and talking about all the goodies they are going to get from people like me. Independent dem leaning hubbie who voted McCain (we live in VA) is starting to agree.
